Banks are sacrificing margins to win volume. At some point, interest rates will move up and loan losses will rise because banks are under-pricing risk.
- Brian JohnsonI think it`s been driven down in large part by concerns over interest rates. There have been some pricing concerns in their long distance business, as well, but just a great company that`s well off its high.
- David BradyIt will provide us independence from the grid, from regional pricing.
- James BradleyThey can not dictate price, ... I went to a meeting three weeks ago with a (DaimlerChrysler) rep and a dealer asked `How much should we price this at?` He responded, `I don`t want to hear any discussion of pricing.` That would be like price fixing, and it`s blatantly illegal.
- Buck BuchananThese positive trends in pricing and better returns are likely to continue for years, maybe decades.
- James ValentineWe thought it was rich in the $38.50 range. So we are a bit surprised by this nosebleed pricing.
- Mark BerrySince the US remains the biggest and most lucrative pharmaceutical market in the world, it is no surprise to find companies eager to develop individual US pricing departments. Having a US pricing department is critical because it allows companies to be more flexible and better positioned to respond to the ever- changing pharmaceutical environment in the US.
- David RichardsonOne of our roles at the Forestry Commission is to provide Georgia landowners with high-quality, accurate and timely timber price information. Georgia has 24.3 million acres of forestland available for commercial use and timber is the highest valued vegetative crop in the state. Since timber prices vary across the state, Forest2Market had divided Georgia into three primary timber pricing regions. Forest2Market`s report will serve as a valuable tool to help Georgia`s Forest Products Industry compete in the global market. We are pleased to provide a timber market report specific to Georgia.
- Steve ChapmanThe new rates will be more politically and special interest-driven. Current insurance pricing reflects what`s really occurring on the highways.
- David SnyderWe expect maybe 50 basis points of Fed fund increases between now and December. The market is pricing in 100 percent probability of that happening.
- Larry JonesA lot of people are trading in cars they normally wouldn`t have traded in to take advantage of employee pricing. So now we`ve got cleaner used cars - so now the used car business has picked back up.
- Bobby CollinsThe Internet creates a whole new market and almost a whole new pricing. You have a series of prices lined up side by side.
- Richard DaviesThe pace of change in (software) pricing models is accelerating. A lot of software companies are still trying to figure out how to do multi-core processors .?.?. and still get the same level of profitability they had before.
- Dave EdwardsI don`t think we can go back to the old days. But I think that what the government needs to do is it needs to make sure that the pricing is fair, that you don`t have monopolies out there, so that people don`t have a chance to compete fairly.
- Dan GlickmanIf Americans could legally access prescription drugs outside the United States, then drug companies would be forced to re-evaluate their pricing strategy.
- Alan KleinBriefly speaking, our conclusion is that stochastic volatility does not make a huge difference as far as the pricing is concerned if you get the average volatility right. It makes a big difference as far as hedging is concerned.
- Alison Macphersonmuch earlier than anticipated fall in DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) spot prices and what we expect to be weaker contract pricing starting in the second half of September.
- Andy AbeleWe think there needs to be more oversight and accountability over the prescription drug industry and their pricing practices.
- Anne BowieAztecAmerica is not a crusade. It is simply about bringing to bear banking principles, decision-making tools, technology and proven business solutions in order to increase access and bring down the cost of financial services for Hispanic-Americans. Our primary mission is to bring bank-quality standards, products, services and pricing to a substantially underserved marketplace.
- Annice StatinWe have a long way to go in mastering that art, ... As we identified the fact we were under pricing, the pendulum swung too far over to only improve price. The pendulum should be stopped in the middle so we have a proper balance between volume and price.
- August BebelBetter pricing and a stabilising ready-to-drink trend may give us the opportunity to improve on the net sales growth we achieved this year.
- Austin ImamuraWe totally rewrote the whole pricing system.
- Avni OzanL.A. draws highly skilled Asians and San Francisco draws highly skilled gays, but D.C. draws highly skilled everybody -- gays, Latins, Asians, Africans, scientists and so on, ... The trick will be to avoid pricing ourselves out of that creativity.
- Ayman Abdel NourSome final decisions, like pricing, should always be reserved for the seller.
- B.L. OchmanWith their merchandising savvy and competitive drive, these three talented executives will be instrumental in improving our ability to serve our customers with product selection and pricing that leads the industry, while building operational efficiency for our shareholders,
- Babak Ziaiewe are in a pricing war for vehicles that fewer and fewer people want to buy as gasoline prices continue to rise.
- Barbara ChamberlainIt makes a ton of sense for us to explore this emerging business to see how it can provide us with more revenue potential from our titles. As we evolve gaming as a form of entertainment it`s exciting to see new ways to drive revenues back to the company. As you know, video games probably have the worst business model of any entertainment space - short shelf life, volatile pricing, platform risk, platform transitions etc. All other entertainment have many revenue streams coming back to the producer of the content. Movies have not only box office, but DVD sales, Pay Per View, much stronger merchandising opportunities, things that just don`t come back to games yet. Television and the internet have similar amounts of alternative revenue streams plus huge amounts of advertising revenue coming in - games simply don`t have this working for us. It`s retail and that`s it. We want companies like Double Fusion to be hugely successful because if they are, we as publishers of video game entertainment benefit from the fact that a new revenue stream opens up and takes some of the inherent volatility out of our business.
- Barbara HayesWhat we`re getting here is Italian-style quality that people know and love -- with Chinese pricing. That sounds like a winning combination to me.
- Barbara JamesIt`s clear that a significant portion of market demand was at the very low end of the PC market in the fourth quarter, driven largely by aggressive pricing and promotions.
- Barbara MininghamYou`re giving up a little in sound and trunk space, and paying a little higher pricing. But it`s a more emotional purchase. It gets you out of the mode of taking kids around to soccer games.
- Barbara SchneemanWe will never try to develop a strategy that wins on price. There is nothing unique about pricing.
